Grace frowned and looked at Alice. She could already feel Alice's nervousness without saying a word.
She paused and then looked at the approaching people.
Jovane smiled at first. Her gaze swept across Grace and she smiled at Alice. "What a coincidence. Girl, we meet again," she said.
The moment Rosalie saw Alice, she couldn't hold back her anger. When she recalled what Jensen had said to her that morning, she instantly flared up with anger.
"Why would I meet you no matter where I go? What bad luck."
Alice's face turned pale. She pursed her lips bitterly and clenched her bag with her pale hands. She couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Jovane was also taken aback. She looked at Rosalie, her eyes warning her not to say anything unpleasant.
Rosalie glanced at Grace, her attitude the same as before. "I've been having bad luck for the past few days. I've lost all my luck after I met her."
Grace knew who this woman was without even asking.
This woman was really something else. Even with the best self- restraint, she would not have managed to restrain herself from such a situation. If someone dared to say such a thing to her, she might be able to endure it. But now, they dared to talk about Alice, which instantly made Grace furious.
She looked at Rosalie and took a step forward with a smile on her face. "Granny, with your old age, you should take care of yourself when you come out shopping. The ground of the shopping mall is very slippery. Don't fall down, otherwise you'd really be unlucky then."
"Granny?" Rosalie's eyes widened as she looked at Grace, her chest heaving in anger.
"Yes." Grace nodded seriously. "You look like you're in your seventies, right? We should call you Granny. Alice, this lady looks very old so it's not appropriate to call her Auntie. I'll teach you; you should call her Granny if she's so old. Also, if you meet this kind of granny, you should stay away from her."
Alice saw that Rosalie's face was turning pale, then red. Rosalie was obviously furious, but she couldn't find the appropriate words to refute.
Jovane's eyes also widened. She hadn't expected someone to be able to make her sister- in- law, Rosalie, grow speechless so easily.
A woman's biggest fear was being told that they looked old. As Jovanne regarded Grace, she found that she still looked young, and she was good with words. She did not curse as she refuted Rosalie's words, but her words were still as sharp a knife, hitting every sore spot.
Rosalie's expression fell as she grew more and more angry.
There was still a smile on Grace's face and the expression on her face was as calm as ever.
However, Jovane could tell that it was not that simple.
"Alice, who is this?" Jovane looked at Alice and asked.
"Auntie, this is my sister, Grace," Alice introduced Grace to Jovane.
Jovane was stunned for a moment and then laughed. "Oh, I see. No wonder she's so beautiful. So she is your sister. She is as beautiful as you are."
"Thank you, Auntie," Grace answered naturally.
"Auntie, the granny beside you is getting old. You'd better be careful. She's old and hot-tempered. She should eat some pickles as they can reduce her bad temper, blood sugar and even cure constipation."
Jovane held back her laughter as she almost burst out in laughter. She quickly nodded and replied, "Thank you for your reminder, but you've misunderstood. She is the mother of Alice's boyfriend, not a granny. You've skipped a generation."
"Alice's boyfriend's mother?" Grace pretended to be shocked. She glanced at Rosalie and apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, Granny. Oh, no, I'm sorry, Auntie. I misunderstood your age when
I saw your appearance."
Rosalie's expression turned livid.
"It's just a misunderstanding. No worries, it's okay," Jovane responded hurriedly.
"I'm really sorry." Grace glanced at Rosalie's expression as she spoke. "Auntie, I truly have a poor eye. Please forgive me."
Rosalie couldn't say a word as she faced Grace. She couldn't lose her temper, so she swallowed her anger.
